173 Court
The shopkeeper, who had been resting in the wine shop, was unconscious for an hour and a half before waking up.
When he heard this, he quickly packed up and went straight to the county office.
When he arrived at the county office, Ning Yue and Jiang Ying had almost settled the matter.
Before the shopkeeper arrived, Ning Yue did not expect him to run around with injuries. At this moment, she was looking at Huang Shan coldly.
Huang Shan actually made them kneel on the ground.
Jiang Ying sneered and asked him, âWhereâs your county magistrate? Isnât he coming out?â
âIs the county magistrate someone you can see just because you want to? Kneel down!â Huang Shan berated Jiang Ying.
âSince you say I committed a crime and wanted to bring me to the county office, what are you planning to do in the absence of the county magistrate? Who gave you the guts and the right? Do you still have the law in your eyes?â
âHere, I am the law!â Huang Shan shouted.
He finally saw that the two people in front of him were just ordinary villagers and knew how to put on airs.
He thought he had provoked someone extraordinary, but he did not expect it to be these two unpresentable people.
âI hope you can still talk like this when the county magistrate comes later,â Jiang Ying said coldly.
âLet me tell you, the county magistrate is not at home. He said that he would let me handle this matter. If you have any objections, go to prison and talk.â As he spoke, Huang Shan was about to take Jiang Ying and Ning Yue away.
âHow dare you!â Ning Yue shouted coldly.
This Huang Shan was too bold. He must have someone to rely on. Otherwise, how could he dare to say that he was the law? He just didnât know if the county magistrate was behind Huang Shan or someone in a higher position.
Huang Shan was stunned by Ning Yueâs scolding. He reacted for a while before coming back to his senses.
âYou stupid bitch, how dare you talk to me like that? Who do you think you are?!â Huang Shan shouted.
âIâm asking you now. Are you afraid to wait for the county magistrate to return?â Ning Yue asked.
âDonât dare? Why wouldnât I dare? Since you want to die so badly, weâll wait for his Excellency to come back and teach you a lesson! Youâre just murderers. Is it wrong to send you to jail?â
âThe county magistrate isnât back yet, and youâre already planning to casually convict me. Who do you think you are?â Ning Yue asked coldly.
âYou!â Huang Shan was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he held back. He looked at Ning Yueâs face and sneered. âYouâre not confessing, right? When the county magistrate decides your crimes, youâll know whatâs wrong.â
âThat would be best,â Ning Yue said.
Jiang Yingâs men were outside the county office. Ning Yue was not worried about what this constable could do to them.
Huang Shan waved his hand and called a constable over. He whispered in his ear, âGo and see why his Excellency hasnât returned yet.â
The little constable responded and ran quickly out.
Soon, the young constable returned and whispered into Huang Shanâs ear, âSir said that a noble called him out. He didnât see the noble and didnât dare to come back.â
Upon hearing the junior constableâs words, Huang Shan frowned. What noble person was in this town? Why hadnât he heard of him?
He was about to ask what was going on when a man in black suddenly walked in.
âWho is it?â Huang Shanâs expression immediately changed.
This man in black had his head covered. It was impossible to tell what he looked like.
The man in black did not answer him. Instead, he came to Jiang Yingâs side and spoke softly to him.
Huang Shanâs expression became uglier and uglier. This person actually brought a man in black in. Who did he think he was?!
âWhat are you doing? How dare you be impudent in court!â Huang Shan sneered.
In the past, Huang Shanâs anger would probably make people afraid, but he had miscalculated again.
When Jiang Ying heard the news brought by the man in black, he frowned.
The man in black told him that the county magistrate had gone straight to the suburbs.
âTell him if he doesnât come back, heâll bear the consequences,â Jiang Ying said.
After he finished speaking, the man in black walked out respectfully.
Huang Shan was dumbfounded. He kept thinking about this personâs identity and background.
When the junior constable saw this, he couldnât help but tug at Huang Shanâs clothes and whisper, âBrother Shan, why donât we untie this person?â This scene made him a little afraid.
âLet me tell you, this woman is a murderer, and this man is this womanâs lover. If these two run away, will you be responsible?â
